Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel method for the decomposition of halogenated and polyhalogenated organic compounds and for the decontamination of surfaces or fluids contaminated by these substances.
  • EP-A 0 118 858 filed by the applicant describes an effective decontaminating reagent which is active even at room temperature and which may be applied for the decontamination of the soil, parts of installations, buildings, dielectric fluids or other industrial fluids.
  • This reagent consists of:
  • the reagent may be formulated in various manners with an ample range of viscosity according to the different applications.
  • EP-A 0 135 043 also filed by the applicant, describes a device for the continuous decontamination of industrial fluids by means of the above described reagent, suitably supported and adsorbed on solid supports.
  • the process according to the present invention may be used for the decontamination of metallic surfaces, porous surfaces, such as plaster, cement, wood, grit, etc. or hydrocarbons fluids, silicone fluids, non-halogenated synthetic fluids such as gas oil and oil for transformers, etc.
  • the viscosity of the reagent being used may be regulated essentially by the choice of component a)and depends on the type of material being treated. Therefore, a liquid reagent is particularly suitable for porous materials, while metallic surfaces require preferably a viscous reagent or a reagent capable of forming a solid film which later may be removed.
  • a typical example of a reagent may consist of 5-40% by weight of sodium carbonate, 0.1-10% by weight of sodium peroxide or barium peroxide and 50-95% by weight of Nixolen g optionally in mixture with PEG.
  • a reagent consisting exclusively of 80-95% by weight of a Nixolen and 20-5% by weight of an alkali alcoholate such as sodium methylate.
  • the reagent may be applied by spraying, spreading or brushing, or in the case of decontamination of fluids, they are simply caused to pass on a support on which the reagent previously has been adsorbed.
  • This support which may also consist of the same base which is part of the composition of the reagent, may optionally be inserted in a device of the type described in EP-A 0 135 043.
  • the penetration of the reagent into porous materials may be significantly improved by using polyether solvents, in particular ethylene or propylene glycols which are mono or disubstituted with alkyl groups such as diethylene glycol dimethyl ether or diglyme@, optionally in the presence of tensioactive agents and surfactants.
  • polyether solvents in particular ethylene or propylene glycols which are mono or disubstituted with alkyl groups such as diethylene glycol dimethyl ether or diglyme@, optionally in the presence of tensioactive agents and surfactants.
  • a liquid reagent in the amount of 1000 mg/m 2 is spread on two steel plates of 100 x 100 mm size contaminated by 1000 mg/m 2 of PCB in such a manner to form a continuous film.
  • the liquid reagent consists of Nixoieno VS13 and sodium methylate in the proportions of 95-5 by weight.
  • plate A is exposed to UV radiation from a high pressure mercury vapor lamp with 150 w while the other plate serves as control.
  • gas chromatoghra- phy and electron capture detector (GCECD) are summarized in the table below.
  • Two blocks of mortar of composition consisting of 3 parts of sand, 1 part of cement 345, and 0.8 parts of water, of dimensions 35 x 35 x 25 mm are contaminated with 300 mg/m 2 of PCB.
  • the contaminated surface is treated with 3000 g/m 2 of 1 : 1 solution of amixture of Nixolen® VS13 - sodium methylate (95:5 by weight) in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether as a solvent (Diglymeo).
  • One of the blocks (A) is exposed to UV source as in Example 1 and the comparison has been made with the reaction carried out in the absence of UV radiation.
  • a mixture of Nixolens VS13 - sodium methylate (85:15 by weight) in the amount of 1500 g/m 2 is spread on 1 m 2 of a wall with a plaster contaminated by PCDD and PCDF as a result of an explosion and a fire of electric condensers which had been impregnated with PCB.
  • the wall is then exposed for 96 hours to an ultraviolet source from a mercury vapor lamp at high pressure operating at 500 W.
  • the wall is washed (wiped) and then it is analyzed by gas mass analysis (GCMS) and comparison is made between the initial and the final contamination. The results are reported bereinbelow.
  • GCMS gas mass analysis
